Finish Strong


It is always important to finish a game strong. The Southern and Sun Belt conference championships were decided that way.

In the Southern conference, Wofford found themselves down 4 with only a couple minutes to play. But Kyler Filewich hit a layup to cut the lead to two, and after a defensive stop, Charles Johnston hit a three-pointer to give the Terriers a lead that they would not give up. They hit their free throws and finished the game on a 13-2 run to beat Furman for the title.

In the Sun Belt, Troy found themselves down 8 to Arkansas State with 10 minutes to play. Then, Tayton Conerway took over. Conerway scored 12 of the Trojans next 24 points, as they went on a 24-4 run over the next 8 minutes to claim the Sun Belt title.

Congratulations to Wofford and Troy on winning their conference tournament championships to earn their way into the NCAA Tournament.
